The series will be hosted by Sarah Silverman.
TBS invites you to grab your four-legged BFFs and take a walk down memory lane to revisit one of late-night's most iconic segments on "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Stupid Pet Tricks," which has been greenlit as a ten-episode, half-hour series for the network. Host Sarah Silverman ("I Love You America" "The Sarah Silverman Podcast"), a fierce lover of funny animals and their equally funny humans, brings this classic segment into a fresh, comedy variety show filled with big laughs, extraordinary animals, and of course the most Stupid Pet Tricks out there. Production will begin in Los Angeles later this year.
Brett Weitz, General Manager, TBS, TNT and truTV said: "Continuing our strategic commitment to a bold unscripted slate that Corie Henson and her team have implemented and building off the incredible successes of 'Go-Big Show' and 'Wipeout' we knew we had to elevate our roster by looking at the greats of television history and learning from their innovation. David Letterman is an entertainment legend who changed the face of broadcast history with three simple words 'Stupid Pet Tricks'. Not just anyone could carry on that legacy, except the wickedly brilliant, Sarah Silverman. I have no doubt that her brand of comedy will bring heart and raw humor in a way that will capture the original heritage of 'Stupid Pet Tricks' and provide hilarious moments for a new generation yearning to seek truth and laugh till they cry."Videos
